Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.
The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.
This month our sponsor is CraftsUPrint:
This month I have made a retirement card using the kit called "Tropical Wild 6x8 Kit 5" from CraftsUPrint by s.vieira.
It took me quite a while to work out what colour that would make the elephants "pop" but I got there in the end with some orange pearlescent card I got when I was away recently.
It took some time with all the layers of fussy cutting to do but I got there in the end. I knew the card was being hand delivered so I could use all of the layers of decoupage. The main card is 8x8 but the topper with the mats and layers I made it so it sticks above and the card is just a little bit short of an A4 size!!
The backing papers are from The Works. Sadly when I went in one of their shops whilst away and once in the town I live there were no paper pads to be seen. They were such gorgeous quality. I just hope they have not discontinued them.
I finished the card off with a die-cut name cut twice to give a drop shadow effect, flowers from the kit, Nuvo pearl drops and a Phill Martin Sentimentally Yours sentiment.
The recipient of the card was given the card the second week of July. She is a WRVS lady who was working on reception at the hospital where I work all throughout our lockdowns in the UK. She has finished now but I didn't want her to just go without anything so I made her this special card.

Elephants are one of my favourite animals and this card really allows them centre stage. The orange is a great colour to allow them to pop. Thanks for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create
